To get great grades in any level of school, begin with
a picture of yourself as an employed adult, living in
your own home. See yourself as a spouse and parent.
Then begin doing what you need to do to get there.
1. Think about what you will have to offer on your
application to the college you may want to attend.
Will your first choice of schools want to welcome
you to their student body? If you choose a military
career, will the branch of service you want welcome
you?
2. Think about the type of lifelong friends you
want to have. Will you fit in that circle? will you
want to be mean or nice pretty or ugly?
3. Think about what you will have to offer on your
application for the job you want. Will the
interviewer want to hire you over the next guy in
line? Will you have the knowledge and the skills you
need to get and hold the job you want?
4. Think about the kind of partner with whom you
want to share your life and raise your children.
Will your education attract the kind of spouse you
need to help you be a good parent and a good citizen?

5. Think about the end results of your education;
then you will know that good grades are not the
end goal. You want a great education. This is your
turn at getting the best your school has to offer.
6. Think of your teachers as offering you tools to
put into your toolchest. When you graduate you can

walk out of school with a full set of tools or a
practically empty toolbox. Unless you have a mental
disability, it is up to you to pick up each tool as it is
offered and put it into your toolbox. Don't let these
tools slip out of your hands.
7. Set a goal. When is your next report card due? If
you're making a C in a certain class, aim for a B. If
you're making a B, aim for an A; so on and so forth.
8. Tell yourself you want a good future and a good
job. Picture yourself in your dream job. Now picture
yourself on the street. Which do you want?
9. If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, talk to
him/her about your plans and let them know that
you might not have as much time to focus on
them.
10. Take notes in class, do your homework, and
have good attendance. Make sure to focus on your
studies and work, instead of that new hot guy/girl in
class!
11. What ever you do, don't give up! Always set
your goals high and achieve them , plan ahead, and
stay on top of everything.
12. Become a well-rounded individual, but don’t
forget to pursue your strengths.
13. Join extracurricular activities. This will allow
you to make more friends, do something fun, and
have something to add on a college or even job
resume to show people that you are a well rounded-
individual.

14. Always know what your doing.
15. Don't be afraid to talk to your teachers about
your help.
16. If you need help don't feel embarrassed to tell
your teachers that.
17. Don't worry about the other kids in your class
not doing there work because they are gonna fail.
